Germany Sends Troops Into Poland ‘To Protect’ NATO’S East Border With Russia and Belarus
They keep beating the drums of war.
Germany is sending troops into Poland! Calm down – it’s not 1939. But it could end up just as bad.
Today (13), it has been reported that Germany is sending soldiers to Poland, in a bid to ‘strengthen’ NATO’s eastern border with Belarus and Russia.
Politico reported:
“Several dozen German soldiers will join Poland’s East Shield from April 2026, with the mission initially running until the end of 2027, Deutsche Welle reported, citing Berlin’s defense ministry.
German troops will focus on engineering work, according to a ministry spokesperson quoted in the report. The spokesperson described this as building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire and constructing anti-tank obstacles.
The East Shield is a €2.3 billion program announced by Warsaw last year to bolster security along its eastern border.”
Deutsche Welle reported:
“The Defense Ministry said on Saturday that several dozen German soldiers were set to join Poland’s Operation Eastern Shield from April 2026, with the mission initially running until the end of 2027.
A ministry spokesperson said the core task of the German troops in northern and eastern Poland would be engineering work.
This was described as building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire and constructing anti-tank obstacles. No further duties are planned.
[…] The deployment does not require parliamentary approval, the ministry said, because it is not considered an armed foreign mission under German law and is not expected to expose troops to direct military confrontation.”
